I am Joanie and I love living a Creative life!

 

When I think of designing and fabricating silver jewelry with a Torch, I use the words: Exploration and Transformation.

Joan Wescott is a self-taught Silversmith, designing and fabricating handmade jewelry from scrap and recycled sterling silver in an organic non-traditional style that focuses on textured, torched, and sculpted silver using semi-precious stones, ancient ivory, or other interesting objects. Sometimes simply sculpted sterling silver alone will be presented or hollow-formed sterling silver boxes that are open or closed. Joan fabricates all elements of her designs, from handmade chain to clasps. Joan also teaches very beginning Silversmithing classes through Adult Education at the Holter Museum of Art.
